Chapter 170 Synchronization of past and future
In the interrogation room.
Li Xiu patiently explained to Xie Shen: "With the knowledge I currently have and the current level of human science and technology, it will definitely be difficult to send your consciousness back."
"But I can do it in the future."
"After all, you just said it."
"In the future, I have even led all human beings on the planet to achieve interstellar voyages."
"So."
Li Xiu said what he was thinking: "I plan to cooperate with my future self and then send your consciousness back."
"Cooperate with your future self??" Xie Shen didn't understand: "How do you cooperate? Is it possible that you can guess what your future self is doing? Can you predict it?" < br>
Li Xiu said expressionlessly: "Of course I can't predict the future."
"But"
He said mysteriously: "In short, I have my own way to cooperate with my future self."
Being the Riddler, right?
Seeing that Li Xiu was unwilling to disclose the details, Xie Shen stopped asking further.
He turned around and said: "I still have a question that I haven't figured out yet."
"Say it." Li Xiu followed closely.
Xie Shen slowly said: "If the dream world I am currently in is real."
"Then why can't I practice in this world?"
"I can't even feel the slightest bit of spiritual energy."
"This is not normal."
"Is there no way to practice?" Li Xiu thought for a while and asked: "Is it possible that there is no spiritual energy on the earth at this time?"
"Probably not?" Xie Shen denied: "Whether it is spiritual energy or other forms of extraordinary power, without exception, they all originate from indescribable creatures."
"As far as I know, indescribable creatures have existed in the universe since the beginning of humankind."
"Since indescribable creatures have always existed."
"Correspondingly, there should always be spiritual energy on the earth."
"Isn't it?"
After hearing what Xie Shen said, Li Xiu tapped the table with his knuckles, looking like he was thinking.
Lean less.
He analyzed aloud: "If I guess correctly, most of the indescribable creatures during this time period should have fallen into a deep sleep."
"It's obvious."
"After all, in the historical documents before this, almost no one mentioned the existence of unspeakable creatures."
"This shows that they have been in an 'inactive state' similar to sleeping."
"What you said seems to make sense!" Xie Shen continued Li Xiu's words: "In the future, that is, after 6200 AD, almost all planets in the universe will be affected by indescribable attacks to a greater or lesser extent. Biological contamination.”
"It's as if those indescribable creatures have all agreed in advance."
"They all suddenly became very active during that time period."
"Then there is a reasonable explanation for all this." Li Xiu concluded: "From this point of view, the behavior of indescribable creatures is most likely cyclical."
"When inactive, they all fall into a sleep-like state."
"In this state, humans on all planets will be safe and sound."
"When it becomes active, humans on all planets will be tortured until life is worse than death."
Perhaps he felt that Xie Shen's identity was too important.
After a conversation, Li Xiu directly left Xie Shenqiang in the base and sent two soldiers to prevent him from escaping.
Xie Shen didn't take this to heart.
He honestly stayed in this underground military base for three full days.
…
Three days later.
Underground military base, inside the laboratory.
Through an online video call, Li Xiu resurrected a long-dead historical celebrity live in front of the world's bosses.
Since resurrection is just a special phenomenon that cannot be explained by common sense, it does not originate from the extraordinary power of an indescribable creature.
Therefore, even if the nameless creatures at this moment are in a sleeping state, the resurrection spell can still be used as usual.
So after witnessing with his own eyes, Li Xiu resurrected a historical celebrity.
Big bosses from various countries began to pay attention to this online conference initiated by Li Xiu.
On the laboratory projection screen.
A big boss from Europe was the first to speak to Li Xiu in English: "So the end of the world you mentioned in the email is related to this resurrection technique?"
"It doesn't matter much." Li Xiu also replied in English: "The reason why I want to perform the resurrection spell in front of you is just to attract your attention."
"Because what I am going to say next, the news about the end of the world, is simply too important."
"So I have to come up with something to attract your attention."
"I understand." The European boss heard this and said, "I have realized the importance of the matter."
"So."
"Mr. Li Xiu, just say it."
"I will listen carefully."
"Thank you for your cooperation." After Li Xiuchong said politely to the European boss, he truthfully recounted all the major historical events that may happen in the future, word for word.
at last.
Li Xiu pointed at Xie Shen who was following him and emphasized: "I don't care whether you believe it or not. In short, the reason why I can know what will happen in the future in advance is because Xie Shen traveled back from the future by chance. In the time node we are in. ”
"And if we want to facilitate Xie Shen's time travel, we must erase nearly 1,000 years of history."
"Only in this way can history change from certainty to uncertainty to avoid the grandfather paradox."
"When we artificially turn history into Schrödinger's box, Xie Shen, as a time traveler, can be in a state of quantum superposition."
"In this way, his time travel will become reasonable."
Speaking of this, Li Xiu hurriedly added.
"I know what I just said about quantum theory may be a little too complicated."
"But I believe that everyone who can come to the meeting must be surrounded by think tanks and physicists."
"So it shouldn't be difficult for you to verify the authenticity of those words."
Because the information revealed by Li Xiu can be said to be related to the life and death of mankind.
Therefore, the big guys from various countries present did not raise any objections from beginning to end.
They just listened quietly, and did not dare to be careless in listening.
"So."
at the end of the meeting.
Li Xiu said to the big guys from various countries.
"On behalf of China, I would like to give you two days to consider."
"After 2 days, I hope you can send your reply back to my mailbox in time."
The meeting ends here.
…
While waiting for the reply from the bosses of various countries, Xie Shen still stayed in the underground military base.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and Li Xiu finally found Xie Shen again.
He said to Xie Shen: "Everything has been arranged."
"Officials from all over the world have expressed their willingness to erase the next 1,000 years of history."
"Then there's the space station aspect."
"Tiangong, Paradise and the Europa space station are now undergoing emergency expansion."
"Countries are beginning to make every effort to develop aerospace-related technologies in order to prepare for the future doomsday."
After learning that everything was developing according to the historical process, Xie Shen couldn't help but feel relieved.
He asked Li Xiu: "So when can I return to the future?"
"You can do it at any time." Li Xiudao: "As long as you want to, I can send you back immediately."
"Really or not?" Xie Shen followed Li Xiu's words and said, "Since you are ready, you might as well start directly." "I want to see what method you will use to send me back."
in the room.
Faced with Xie Shen's urging, Li Xiu didn't say anything and just took out the pen and paper from his arms.
He spread the paper flat on the table, then took off the watch on his left hand and handed it to Xie Shen's hand.
Xie Shen took a look at the watch.
He found:
What Li Xiu is wearing is the latest smart watch currently on the market.
There is various information on it including time, temperature, weather, latitude, altitude, etc.
Driven by curiosity, Xie Shen couldn't help but ask him: "Didn't you say you want to send my consciousness back? Why did you give me the watch?"
Li Xiu didn't explain much, just said to Xie Shen: "Do me a favor."
"You can now report the temperature, weather, latitude and other data on your watch to me."
"I'm going to write all this data on paper and then memorize it."
"Wait until the day when something happens to you in the future, that is, AD 6288."
"At that time, I will use the data recorded at this moment to send your consciousness back to your future body."
ah? ?
Xie Shen looked at the temperature, altitude, latitude, etc. written on the paper by Li Xiu.
He looked puzzled and said: "With the data on this watch, you can send my consciousness back?"
"What about the principle?"
"If you want to send me back, you must have some kind of equipment, right?"
"Like a time machine or something"
in the room.
Li Xiuchong said meaningfully to Xie Shen: "I do have a time machine."
"But it's not me who made that machine."
"It's me from the distant future."
"You in the future?" Xie Shen was stunned when he heard this: "What do you mean?"
…
Time flies like an arrow, and time flies like a shuttle.
About 4264 years in the future, that is, 6389 AD.
Among the stars in the universe.
On the Ark spaceship, in the laboratory.
In front of a group of researchers, as well as Zhuge Fu, Yi Yuankui, a monk in the transformation stage, Bu Tianran, a monk in the Nascent Soul stage, and others.
Li Xiu patted the storage bag on his waist and took out a huge piece of equipment.
He looked at the instrument and said to the others: "This is what I call the 'time machine' that can bring Xie Shen's consciousness back from the past to the present."
"I don't understand." Hearing what Li Xiu said, Zhuge Fu said in confusion: "In the past half a year or so, you have been staying in the laboratory almost all the time, studying the pink mist that leaked out of Zi Xie Shen's body."
"You simply don't have the time or energy to do anything else."
"So where did you get this time machine?"
"It can't be that you have developed it in advance before Xie Shen's accident, right?"
"Ha." Li Xiu chuckled deliberately.
He responded to Zhugefu: "You guessed it right, I really researched this time machine in advance before Xie Shen's accident."
"This time machine cannot really allow people to travel through time and space."
"Its only function is to pull Xie Shen's consciousness from the past back to the present body."
"Huh??" Zhugefu said with a strange expression when he heard this: "Li Xiu, are you serious? Do you still have the ability to predict the future?"
Li Xiu said meaningfully: "The reason why I built the time machine in advance is not because I can predict the future, but because I have already made preparations more than 4,000 years ago."
"Huh??"
After hearing this answer, Zhuge Fu felt even more confused.
But seeing Li Xiu minding his own business, he said, "Now I have a time machine."
"The nature of the pink mist has also been analyzed and the data can be synchronized with the time machine."
"Now that everything is ready, let's start trying to pull Xie Shen's consciousness from the past back to the future!"
…
Go back in time.
Time returns to the underground military base in 2025 AD.
in the room.
At Li Xiu's urging, Xie Shen stared at the numbers on his watch and said: "The current temperature is 23.1 degrees Celsius, the longitude and latitude are 111.62356 east longitude, and 13.61245 north latitude"
…
AD 6389.
On the Ark spaceship.
After taking out the time machine from the storage bag.
While Li Xiu was operating the machine's terminal, he directed Zhugefu: "Quick, enter the data in the time machine: the temperature is 23.1 degrees Celsius, the longitude and latitude are 111.62356 east longitude, and 13.61245 north latitude"
"Received!" Zhugefu responded concisely and clearly, and quickly entered the data into the time machine.
The end.
He couldn't help but asked Li Xiu: "What are the data you asked me to enter?"
Li Xiu explained: "This is the specific coordinate point left by Xie Shen in the past."
"I will use this coordinate point to locate him in the past time node, and then bring his consciousness back from the past."
…
Time returns to 2025 AD again.
Xie Shen stared at the watch in his hand and continued to read: "The current altitude is 119.3245 meters, and the current time is: 9:23:53 on July 13, 2025 AD."
…
AD 6389.
Inside the Ark spacecraft laboratory.
Li Xiu continued to command Zhugefu: "Enter the altitude and time. The current altitude is 119.3245 meters, and the current time is: July 13, 2025, 9:23:53."
"Received!" Zhugefu responded succinctly and clearly again.
…
The year 2025 AD.
Inside the underground military base where Xie Shen and Li Xiu are located.
Don't know why.
The moment Xie Shen read out the data '53 seconds'.
He felt an inexplicable attraction that enveloped his whole soul.
Affected by this, Xie Shen had a clear understanding in his heart.
He raised his head and said to Li Xiu beside him: "It's working! I feel like I'm about to leave here."
When it was time to leave, Xie Shen seemed to suddenly remember something.
He spoke very quickly to Li Xiu: "That's right."
"I almost forgot to tell you."
"You were resurrected to the Tower Prison on December 31, 6140 AD."
"Then he met me."
"After that, you calculated exactly when our names would be read through data such as the order of family names and the speed of resurrecting people on the space station."
"With this, you and I successfully escaped from the tower prison."
in the room.
After saying this, Xie Shen felt that the inexplicable attraction had become more and more powerful.
——Under Li Xiu's gaze, Xie Shen's entire body flashed and inexplicably disappeared from the spot.
